This bill amends subsection 3 of section 15.1-19-16 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the self-administration of asthma or anaphylaxis medication by students. The amendment clarifies the definition of "emergency medication" to include not only prescription drugs delivered by inhalation for asthma symptoms but also devices that contain a premeasured dose of epinephrine to prevent or treat life-threatening allergic reactions.

Additionally, the bill removes the term "autoinjectable" from the definition of epinephrine devices, streamlining the language to ensure clarity regarding the types of emergency medications that students are permitted to self-administer. This change aims to enhance the understanding and accessibility of necessary medications for students with asthma or severe allergies.
